Challenge - F30 Project Car - Took Delivery!

GTM_Challenge · 02-20-2012, 01:28 PM

A few weeks ago we decided we wanted to pick up a new F30 335i Sport 6MT. We knew it would be hard to find an Alpine White with 6MT especially as most the launch cars tend to be autos. As luck would have it, Eric Maniya at Patrick BMW in Schaumburg, IL was able to search the national incoming launch order and trade for just the car we wanted!

F30 335i
Sport
Alpine White
Coral Red leather
6sp manual

Of course being a launch car it has some new toys like all the camera and tech package. We'll be spending some time in and around the car over the next week so we can point out any of the new or interesting features on the car that most magazines etc may not point out or realize.

After that, we start parts development!

Here is a quick shot i snapped last night before the rain started to fall. I'll post some more yet this week.

She goes on the dyno tomorrow morning for baseline runs.

Nice. Am sure you'll come up with some sick shit for this car. Looking forward to it

Its_lobelt · 02-20-2012, 03:10 PM

Very nice. Cant wait to see whats in store.

rooster92 · 02-20-2012, 04:41 PM

Put a hot tub in it.

jeff@autocouture · 02-20-2012, 04:57 PM

flipm3 · 02-20-2012, 05:05 PM

Talk about getting ahead of the game! I can't wait to see what you guys pump out for this car!

Where will you guys be getting the dyno runs at?

jmgM3 · 02-20-2012, 05:07 PM

Sorry to say but this new design really hasn't won me over. Maybe it will grow on me...

Nate@IND · 02-20-2012, 05:22 PM

That would look nice parked next to an X5M

M3SQRD · 02-20-2012, 05:26 PM

Awesome Greg! Looking forward to seeing what mods you add

The front bumper is in desperate need of a front lip, which it will get.

In the summer, we'll switch it to the M sport bumper and develop matching lip for that as well

i love the interior of the new 3. Im dumping mine as soon as the lease is up for a newer m3

IFX · 02-20-2012, 09:42 PM

i honestly do not like the front of that...

huyner328 · 02-20-2012, 10:43 PM

The front end doesn't work for me at all... something about where the hood and front headlights meet. Def need a lip and some more pictures!

That license plate bracket is going to be changed that it can be removed. BMW sent out a bulletin last week about this.
